LOCK FOR LOCKERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 9. 1912.

To fill Ir/w/n it may rower/2 Be it known that l lVnlLis Fauss burn, a ritizen of the United States. residing in the eitj; am! eountv of San Franeiseo and State of California. have invented new and useful lmp'rovennaus in Looks for Loekers, ot' \vhieh the following is a specification.

Thi lock.

The invention primarily resides in an umbrella reeeptaele, a elosure therefor, and means for loeking said elosure.

The invention further consists of the pa is and the.- eonstruetion and combination of parts as hereinafter more fully described and elaimed, having reterenee to the accompanying drawings, in whieh Figure l is a view partly in elevation and partly in veriieal seetion. of one form of the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertieal section. Fig. 3 is a detail seotion ol the locker elosur and the lurkin means thereon. v

I employ a series of umbrella receptacles :1, preferably formed of wire mesh 2, mount e l on a suitable framework 3, revolublv mounted on a standard 4-; roller bearings 5 being provided to faeilitate the rotation of the umbrella reeeptaeles on the standard 4. The lower ends o l' the reeeptaeles A are open, and extending beneath the open lower ends of the re 'eptaeles A and mounted on the framework i is an annular trough or drain (5, for receiving the water drained from the umbrellas in the reeeptaeles A.

in {be form of the invention shown i: Figs. 3 and l. the reeeplaeles A are rigidly mounted on any suitable support 1?, sueh as a wall: a number of reeeptaeles A. being adapted to be plat-ed in a row as shown in Fig.

The reeeptaeles A are provided with sures T at their upper ends, \Yllhll are hi pied at S to swing! in a vertical direetion. iteeiproeallfi mounted on the underside of the Closures 7 are bolts 9. a'hieh extend approxb inatelv the length oi the closures T, and are adapted to engage the edge oi? the opening in the frame 3 surrouiuliugr the elosures T, as particularly shown in Fig. 5.

The bolt 9 is designed U) be normally held against retraetion when the elosure is in its closed positi n, by means of a pressed pin ll), L'Q ilMUCLI lJy' mounted in the upper inner POli'JOIl of the frame 2; vhielz invention relates to an umbrella eloin turn is designed to be held against rearward movement by me: if a loek bolt 11, of any suitable construe; The lock bolt ll is here shown as ope; by means of a lm'li 12 of any suitable n 'iption, preferahl of that type of loci;v i which the bolt 11 is reeiproeatecl b the ation of a lock ovlinder 125.

The bolt 11 is designed to be moved in front of the rear end of the pin 10, while the bolt 9 is in engagement with the frame 3, as shown in Fig. 3, thereby preventing the bolt 9 and pin 10 from being retracted, so as to ha'li the closure 7 in its closed position.

When it is desired to use one of the lockan umbrella or parasol is placed in the reeeptaele A with its lower end resting in the drain plate 6. The elosure 7 is then shut to cause the bolt 9 to be thrown in lockin; engagement with the frame 3. The loek 12 is then operated to throw the bolt ll rearward of the spring pressed pin 10 to hold it against retraeti n, thereby effectre all looking the closure 7 in its closed .posilion and preventing the reniovai of the mnbrella or parasol from the receptacle A.

The look 12 is preferably of that character in which it is neeessary to insert a coin in a eoin slot 1 l in order to operate the lock to throw the bolt and remove the key, thus neeessitating the depositing of a coin before a locker may be used.

In the operation of the invention a key is inserted in the ion-l; whereby the bolt 11 may be retraete l and moved out of the path of travel of the spring; pressed pin 10. An upward pull is then exerlvd on the riosure T in sueh manner a to roll; it on its hinged mounting b. This upward movement of the elosure T a -res tho outer end of the bolt 9 to ride over {he edge of the opening in the frame ihere'm moving, the bolt 5 longitudinally in opposition to the spring pressed pin 10, whi h is free in move in a rearward direelion after the bolt 11 has been retract ed. "lhi ailows the eiosure T beim readily owned. to give areess to the interior Of the '(tt l' the :tranie the lh a rounded e over the edge of cover therefor, a sliding bolt on the under- 1 vent the cover opening, a spring-pressed- I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- In an umbrella locker, the combination with an appropriate receptacle of a hinged side of the cover and adapted when moved in one direction to engage a detent to prebolt mounted adjacent to the hinges of the cover and independent of the. cover and in line with the bolt and operative to project the bolt. into locking engagement with the detent, a locking bolt for the spring pressed bolt and means for releasingthe last name looking bolt.
